Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys

Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys features all-star pickers and singers whose sound includes everything from down-home country to reckless rockabilly to intricate bluegrass. Crowds all over the world stare in awe as Gordie plays with joyful abandonment. Nicknamed “Crazylegs” as he demonstrates his unique blend of Canadian clogging and step dancing, Gordie is the dancing and fiddling leader of the band; Peter Cann (acoustic and electric guitar, vocals), Thomas Webb (bass, banjo, guitar, vocals), and Jason Burbine (drums, bass, guitar, vocals) round out the PEI-based quartet. The group’s latest album, Dreamland (2019), captures the versatility of the musicians and showcases their expansive talents. While their records are tremendous, it’s their exhilarating live show that keeps people coming back time and time again and leaving in wonder and amazement. Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys last brought their high energy, fiddle-fuelled, old-time sound to our Festival stage in 2013.
